If you look at percentages of Nigerian non immigrant visitors in 2015, 2016, 2017; you will find that the number keep increasing, hence the corresponding increase in denials.

When prior non immigrant visitors refuse to honor their obligations and return back to Nigeria, the embassy not only tracks it and take notice; they also use those feedbacks to re-evaluate their visa process...e.g. the story or ‘packaging’ trend that led to a visa issuance in 2017 but have high non-return rate, will make the embassy to start questioning the intentions of those with the same ‘packaging’ who they are interviewing in 2018.

Very sensible post. I wonder why this post doesn't have some shares and likes.

How does one deal with this issue of sales personeel theft , especially when you are not physically present to man them?

What about having an IP based CCTV camera installed to deter theft by the sales personnel. They aren't that expensive anymore.

Johnnyessence:
Thanks to bode George, Pa Adebanjo and other dogged June 12 Fighters for exposing him and speaking out about the struggle.

I hope you are not attempting to rewrite history. Please humour me by explaining how Bode George is one of the dogged June 12 fighters.

AustineCJ:
Useless youths....most times,if not for the sake of our unborn kids,I think we deserve the kind or leaders we get.

It is really pathetic. We not only deserve the leaders we get but the followers are actually the leaders because it is from followership that leadership is drawn.

A number of ex-yahoo boys are already in the national assembly and some of them would find themselves in executive arm; the question is what kind of governance do we expect from them?!

How can I make money from the site u create?

If those guys can answer your question they won't be here advertising website for 10k.

Yet this same Jeremiah Useni was among the senior army officers in the Abacha government that leagued together to truncate the mandate Nigerians overwhelmingly gave to MKO Abiola on June-12 1993.

I couldn't have said it better. Jerry boy as he was fondly called by Abacha should have advised Abacha back then. Abacha is not here to defend himself anymore so expect more people to dissociate themselves from the stupidity.

In fairness to Abacha though, it should be said that MKO didn't die in his custody. MKO's death would forever remain a blight on Abdusalaam's career.

jaxxy:
They probably felt they didn’t need it for political mileage at the time or see any particular advantage it offered them. I don’t blame Buhari bt the timing was suspicious and we know thAt.

I do understand your view but your point itself is an indictment on the ex presidents. It would appear as if they didn't display sufficient emotional intelligence on the issue.


We all do things for a reason; you and I go to work daily so that we can make money. Nobody can and should question why we go to work to make money.

The propriety or impropriety of our actions is what matters, not our motive for doing the right thing.

jaxxy:
I don’t understand what Ure talking about. He did every damn thing leading up to his election. It known worldwide that it was a re-election strategy and we applaud him for his ingenuity. Why wud he do it and then reverse it after his election when he’s not crazy, who does that? Pls say Smtn else.

OBJ or any of the other presidents after him could have done same for political expediency if they cared so much about their political capital. Buhari shouldn't be blamed for this decision.

Gandollaar:
Soyinka should shut up! He was part of the wicked crew that foisted the coupist on Nigerians.

How exactly did the prof force Buhari on you. When he supported GEJ in 2011, did he force him on us? People's electoral choices should be respected. Except, where it is proven that Soyinka engaged in multiple voting for Buhari we should let the man be.

GEJ and PMB should be commended or chastised for their actions or inactions. You can assist in getting someone employed but you can't help him/her to do the work for which he/she is employed.

Jen92:
Was it not obvious he will win? APC is majority. Wont it be stupid if Ike wins?

But the shocking part is that some PDP senators voted for him against Ekeremadu. Shows that the party is not as united as we are made to believe.

Nigeria Runs a non economically feasible Civil Service

*Ministry of Works in all states and FG hires Engineers and other workforce to over bloat its payroll yet Issue out all construction works to Chinese Engineering and Construction company

*We have Ministry of water resources with thousands of staffs across the federation, yet every body buys portable water or construct their own boreholes while the ministry workers goes to secteraite to gossip and play around.

*NNPC and DPR highers workers periodical, and has one of the highest salary and allowance of any cadre of workers yet they contract supply of petroleum products, they contract refinery and even contracts mining of crude

*We have schools that cant even justify their annual budget by executing a research project or at least producing Innovative Graduates

You have captured the problem(s) aptly. When the talk about the minimum wage came up.sometimes ago, I asked a friend how it would be funded.

Majority of the Nigerian workers are not productive in the true sense of it.

distributeinc:
Most illegal immigrants are not well educated, being a graduate in a Nigerian University don't mean you have brains... this is not even the point of this discussion...stating that most Nigerians living here are not living good lives here is a fallacy, just because you get by living in a cold country, as a second class citizen...I rather live here.

Quit responding to that guy. What he calls Vegas is actually someone's slum. The riches he thinks he possess is someone's poverty! Many folks in Nigeria jet out of Nigeria and return home living their lives.

Agbaletu:
Is the guy currently in a good financial standing to pay back?

Op, this is the main question. I asked the same question although couched in another way.

I am compelled to contribute my token because of the anguish I feel you are going through.

That said, you need to be specific as to what you want to achieve by involving law enforcement officers.

1. If you want to just punish the guy for his indiscretion then it is okay the rest of this post may not be necessary.

2. If your sole aim is to recover your money then you need to find out if this guy has assets that law enforcers can confiscate if need be; landed properties or other valuables. Additionally, can you help locate the guy whenever he is needed?

P.S
Are you guys from the same tribe? SFU can help you with this recovery but that demand is outrageous.

The value involved may not inspire the FCIID operatives as they usually go after the bigger stuffs.

Where are you located right now, Lagos or any other state? If you provide these details, you might get further assistance on this platform. Cheers.

davillian:
What happens to the assets forfeited to the FG.

Then the lawmakers should make laws that regulate and clearly spell out what can be done with forfeited assets instead of attempting to whittle down the powers of the anti-corruption agencies.

This attempt by the lawmakers is shameful and would not bode well for the masses.

aolawale025:
Why not ask for then papers formally? Must everything be dramatized

Asking for papers formally from MTN might give them enough opportunity to cover their tracks.

MorufuAtanda:
You are another hypocritical irritant just like hungerbad was, better learn from this situation and change for the better. A word...

Hello! Why are you bickering over the political choices of people when we are all mourning the departure of a great mind? Let us all remember not to mock anyone with possible death because physical DEATH is an inevitability for us all. Whether we are pro-PDP or pro-APC or pro-any-other.

Fare thee well HungerBad! Adieu!

P.S.

I didn't know that your disagreement with HungerBad was based on the fact that he taunted IPOBs that were killed as you stated; I am unaware of that side of him. While I don't support anyone doing that I urge us to remember more of the guy's good deeds as no one is perfect.

Omoboricash:
APC Still Get Hope

The apex court ordered that the runner-up candidate be sworn in if he fulfils the constitutional requirement of getting one quarter of the total votes cast in at least two-third of the local government areas of the state.

Here is the analysis:

Total votes cast: 810,782
APC: 534,541 votes
PDP: 189,452 votes

So PDP must get 202,696 to earn governor seat of Zamfara state.

��� PDP Never Again

If the Apex court held that the runner up should be sworn if he has 1/4 of total votes cast in at least 2/3 of the LGAs in Zamfara; then the votes required by PDP cannot be up to 202696 as you stated because your computation was based on 100% LGAs and not 2/3rd of the LGAs as stipulated by law.

Wallade:
I have a serious issue with the accounting and auditing departments of Covenant University management.

We're they not auditing and reconciling accounts within those years?

If you investigate properly, you will discover that this fraud involves a lot of management staff. I don't believe the VC.

Sadly, a lot of auditing and accounting staff are not able to pick these malfeasances especially in a computer based accounting system.

Auditing various ledgers and checking them against various source documents could have exposed this.

most of you don’t even understand what really happened,this has nothing to do with Tram or coke!!The drug is not planted in your original luggage,another luggage is registered in your name by the cartel and that is were you have the drugs!!!once the luggage is lucky to bypass immigration in Saudi,there are people ready to pick it up!!!Hope you understand now?what Nigerian immigration has to do was check the time luggage was registered and if there is a security cam,check and pick up whoever did it!!!

This should help to clear the air a bit.

If he manages that feat, he'll have earned a slot in the Arsenal hall of fame.

Arsenal 3 - Valencia 1

Aystarz:
Laca is on fireeee in the Europa oo. I this rate, dude could, singlehandedly, win the cup for Arsenal.

If Laca does that it would be mad fun.

COYG. Arsenal 2: Valencia 1. Game on.

SEONaijaExpert:
I see Ambode working hard to divide Fashola's portfolio as minister.

He would probably take minister for works.

I thought a state can only have 1 minister. Perhaps, they can make Ambode a minister of state or make him head of a MDA

martowskin1:
do u know in the next 10yrs or more, we will start having yahoo boys rule this nation?....

what we are experiencing now about our political leaders will be a joke compare to then, the earlier we face this issue of corruption on the root the better...

the youth are the future, with our youth calling yahoo legit and only source of living, tell me what the future will look like

The emphasized part of your post has been disturbing me for some years now. As a matter of fact some of these yahoo yahoo people are already in government. Nigerians can't see the impending doom if this menace is not curbed now.

Budex40:
Still doesnt make sense to me. Our Local Markets arent affected by dollar hike, rather they affected by fuel price.Dont let these thieving Traders fool u. The idea of selling a bag of garri for cheaper is evidence. Garri is far cheaper than most staples.Up north , u'd even buy a bag of sweet potatoes for 2k. I still buy meat for #100, #200 here in the North.
In Lagos, i cant buy meat for #300. Na we dey do ourselves

Most of the inflation in Nigeria is self induced because of over-profiteering. Take for instance, a food-seller who ordinarily would have made about 20% gain if he sells a measure of item for #400 would decide to rig the system to favor himself would sell the same at #700 believing that he is smart. All the buyers of his products/ services would reflect his rigged cost in their own pricing to make more profit or even play smarter and the cycle goes on and on. The way Nigerians create artificial inflation is the way they create artificial traffic jams; most times it is initiated by someone who thinks he/ she is smarter than the rest and the problem spirals out of control.

A piece of advice to us all: Do not just inflate the price of your products/ services just because you can or because your customer is not any wiser; if you do, the market will correct that anomaly be making every other person pay more and we will be here blaming OBJ, GEJ and PMB.

The market is more intelligent than everybody - if you attempt to cheat it, there will be consequences.

P.S There will be times when increasing prices of your products is genuinely justified.

Was looking for one smart person who noticed, since first to comment was gone

The shorts and other female apparels found on the cultist do not necessarily belong to this set of victims

austink1:
Not a bad take.. But my question to you is this... Do these 'so called sars men' look like men on uniform?? Show me their jacket.. The other one is even wearing a nika... Like wtf, where did we offend God in this country??

We offend God everyday with the way most Nigerians think. Remove all the police officers in this country and recruit the ones complaining now and see how they will transform into bigger monsters. It is not a Police issue, it is a Nigerian problem.

A typical Nigerian doesn't know how to manage power without misusing it.

Kursk2019:
Sharp guy.. U try oo with this ur critical analysis of Lagos transport fares.. Anyways I stay I Oregun, d between ojot and ikeja, from ojota to Oregun is #50 while from ojota to ikeja is #100 sometimes #150.. I don't where u entered ojota to ikeja #500 On this planet earth.

He was talking about bike from Ojota to Oregun and not buses.

donbenie:
I beg to differ,every player,every stroker has his Pros and Cons,

You said he only converts 50% of his chances,

Have you ever wondered how he gets so many chances and other strikers don't ?

It's because of his great positional play..

So,if he only converts half of the chances that he gets,

The fact that he actually gets in position for such opportunities should not be discountenanced..

At the end of the day,

He ends up scoring a bucket full of goals every season..

He scored 10 goals in 13 games in his first half season with Arsenal and is currently second on the Goals log with 18..

Every Striker has his attributes,

He may not be the most physically imposing nor the most intelligent Striker out there,

But his positional play is second to none and at the end of the day,

He scores a whole lot of goals for ANY club he plays for..

Quite an intelligent contribution. Why are the other EPL players not getting into position to get the opportunities that Auba gets?

ExcelDeBaron:
Is that all you have to say? Are you people no longer checking names?


This has finally put to the Grave the very myopic idea and notion that "IGBOS PUSH DRUGS AND ITS EXCLUSIVE TO THEM". Look at that list very well. Its full of names from the West and the North. You can see that some Nigerians have crime embedded in there DNA and its not an Igbo thing. Go to Sahara reporters page and see some Yorubas there pretending to be preachers. Many are saying "Things are hard under Buhari and we have to survive"..... "Crime is not a tribal thing". Hypocrisy raised to power 100!

Oh.... I now understand why the Federal government is pushing for there release. Because its not an exclusive list of Igbos? What about Igbos in prison in Thailand? South Africa? Malaysia? Nigerians can now see that we are our own enemies. While we are here battling
ourselves and imploding, our brothers out there are on death row! To be executed with huge matchetes! Does the matchete know Hausa? Does the Matchete know Yoruba? Does the matchete know Igbo? The Matchete only knows " USELESS NIGERIANS COMING TO OUR COUNTRY TO SPOIL IT. I WILL CUT THERE HEAD." Let me repeat it again... "ITS DEATH BY BEHEADING. THERE HEAD WILL BE DECAPITATED AND SEPARATED FROM THERE BODIES!"

Last but not Least (Coz I have a lot to say); " WHERE IS THAT USELESS AND HEARTLESS WOMAN CALLED ABIKE DABIRI? A CRIMINAL AND SHAMELESS WOMAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT SHE IS A MINISTER AND SHOULD BE PROMOTING PEACE! She was the first person to publish the names of Igbos on a platter of gold on Twitter. Why has she gone numb on this one? Oh... I remember vividly... These ones are Humans and not destroying our nation. Igbos are the evil ones and should be executed!!

But I do know there are sensible Hausas, Yorubas and other tribes who sees beyond tribe and know that its a national shame. I know because I have met them. God bless the people of Nigeria. I won't say God bless Nigeria because I don't like this country. This is a jungle and not a nation.

Nigeria is not a jungle because it is only a mere geographical expression; it does not have a mind of its own. It is what Nigerians make of Nigeria that we would all enjoy so you can not blame Nigeria as a country for the acts of omission or commissions of Nigerians. If Nigeria must be great, every Nigerian must play his or her part well.
